This small Motel is a reasonable place to stay in San Clemente. The Owner is on property and extremely kind and accommodating. The room is quite small but doable for a couple. Loved the outdoor area with a picnic table and a small couch with side tables

It’s simple, a great value, and right where you want to be within the town. The folks running it are everything you want in hospitality. Give this a try in San Clemente.

Great experience. Room was very comfortable. Owner’s took many considerate steps in preparing the room with fresh bottle of water, coffee maker, coffee and cups. They even have an ice tray in the Mini Fridge. I was able to get some cubes for my cooler by morning. Very cool. San Clemente is a charming So Cal beach town. Maybe last one left.

From the moment you are greeted by the owners, you can tell the care they have for you and the property. Is this a fancy shmancy hotel with a pool and a restaurant inside? No, but for the price, location, and cleanliness of the property- its perfect. The bed is comfortable as well. Its also a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute uber ride to the bars and restaurants.
